She will also discuss NC State's Citizen Sc ience Campus and opportunities to pilot test new projects through a Projec t Incubator. \n\nDo you acquire more data than you're equipped to analyze? Could you build better AI models if you had more human annotations? Can y ou imagine new research questions to answer if you had hundreds or thousan ds of people helping annotate data? A major challenge with using sensors a nd remote technologies to acquire data is dealing with the flood of inform ation. With aerial imagery and camera trap photos\, researchers often face a bottleneck in processing data rather than in acquiring it. Computers an d AI can help\, but a core need that remains is the human ability of patte rn recognition.

The full list of lectures can be found here: 2026-2027 Lecture Series.\n\nTania Allen\, department head of media arts\, design & technology and design studies\, NC State Universi ty \n\nTania Allen’s research and scholarship focuses on critical cartog raphy and critical mapping as tools for design research. Building on theor ies drawing from anthropology\, action research\, placemaking\, and partic ipatory design her works seeks to “thicken” the way that data is visua lized and the stories and experiences that are at the core of data collect ion\, cleaning\, manipulation and communication. At the core of her approa ch to critical cartography is the reciprocal activity of encoding and deco ding\, bridging the etic perspective of the researcher (i.e. designer) and the emic perspective of the subject of study (i.e. the user) by using dat a to uncover and communicate a truth (encoding)\, while simultaneously eva luating the meaning of this truth (decoding).\n\nTania is the co-director of the design research group co-lab\, which focuses on critical mapping as a participatory design research tool. Currently\, co-lab’s focus is on developing a methodology for critical mapping that simultaneously embraces cartography as a powerful analytic and synthetic research tool\, while al so challenging the assumptions that the mapping and visualization process embeds within it.
